What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

There it is again. You removed the vinyl on the door pillars between the front and back windows. Yep its time to do the same I love that look.

 

They are a great car. Is it 4 or 6 cyl and fwd or awd? I got one for the wife and she races it everywhere. Ours is v6 awd so the mileage isn't the greatest, but still better than the Tacoma.

 

Good start and you can do a much better job by removing the panels one at a time and pounding or rolling out the dents. It's possible to just pull the well liners but access is still limited and difficult to swing or control a hammer. For dents without any creases you can do paintless dent removal where the metal is massaged back into place. It's a skilled job but if you're not picky about the results you can diy the learning curve.

 

Cleared Rocky Gap Road / Potato Ridge today
Need more lift / tire and Skids

 

Interesting thought...exactly what DOES qualify as a "Mod"? is it a major change, like a lift, or new tires and wheels, or similar, or is changing ANYTHING on the truck from Factory considered a mod? Yeah, I know that under that definition, an oil change could be called a mod, but still...
And yes, this is FIRMLY "tongue in cheek"...

 

Anything maintenance I don't consider a mod, such as an oil change. A "mod" can be something simple as installing the bar to lock the sliding rear window.

 

I noticed when I changed my diff and transfer case fluids that the front diff was "dirtier" than the other two. Maybe it was never changed? What I did see was too much play in the inner end of the left CV axle (maybe the needle bearings are toast). Time to put an order in to ECGS.

 

I actually never had any vinyl on the pillars lol

 

Ordered the ECGS bushing.

 

Linked in the bottom of my build thread

 

Yea Id like to get a few more out especially that nasty one by the headlight in the front passenger fender. Pretty much just gonna turn it into a overland style that Im not worried about beating up haha also its been having issues with the front end too. Not sure what it is though.

 

Wired all lights front and rear



Edit: also added an external speaker behind the bumper. Just need a male to female extension to make it to the CB unit

 

Not sure if this is where to do this or if this guy will ship. But local to me Craigslist ad had new Bliestine shocks and stuff still in factory Toyota boxes. I don't know what a deal is either. Here's a link just in case its a deal. https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/pts/6746195212.html

 

Well shit. Rotating my tires and this fell off of my passenger side rear drum cover. Are these weights used for balancing??

 

Good looking headlights!

 

Yep that's what it's for. Tack weld it back on or clean it real good and try some JB weld.

 

Thanks! BHLM on OEM second hand set. Still debating what to do with my mint set.

 

I heard you needed an extension

 

Sell them to me?
